My first encounter with the works of Rosanjin Kitaoji was at a fancy, traditional Japanese restaurant "Hyo-tei" in Kyoto that I was taken. The thinking of Hyo-tei, which got three stars in Michelin, is that vessels are clothing for the food. This thought accords with the thought of Rosanjin Kitaoji. At that time, I synchronized with the sense of beauty of Rosanjin.
Through this exhibition, I felt his spirit intensely that the world of Rosanjin Kitaoji was divided into the following seven categories: pottery, calligraphy, engraving, tea, flowers, food and the seasons.
On pottery: Pottery work is "a succession of quick and felicitous" decisions and movements.
On calligraphy: Calligraphy is "best when skill is shown in what appears to be unskillful."
On engraving: Go "where your fancy takes you."
On tea: Tea is "a university of aesthetic endeavors."
On flowers: Flower arrangement is the art of "painting with flowers."
On food: "Vessels are clothing for the food."
On the seasons: "Just praise nature and its beauty."
Looking at these seven categories, I could understand that Rosanjin Kitaoji was an artist, art director, and producer who unified all genres and constantly departed from the existing paradigm.
In addition, through this exhibition, I strongly feel the power of the works and words that Rosanjin left.
Rosanjin Kitaoji will continue asking us "what is beauty?"
I met a real giant of beauty, Rosanjin Kitaoji as a personification of beauty of harmony, a critic of all that we have lost and destroyed, and a leader of regeneration and rebuilding.

Its these brand that are the new wave in designer clothes, brands
such as Folk and YMC are now at the head of the designer clothes wave.
With the well-placed embellishments, you can draw attention to
your desired part of body. Buying wholesale clothing online is
a bit different from buying them in the real world.
